Container Network Observability

Justin Ryburn describes the complexities of managing the network in a modern Kubernetes deployment and how Kentik can provide observability. Leveraging eBPF technology allows network engineers the ability to visualize and make sense of the network traffic within the Kubernetes cluster, as well as traffic entering and leaving the cluster. Justin wraps up with a brief demo of Kentik’s beta Kentik Kube functionality.

Data-driven Network Observability

The network may be the last thing most people think about, but it’s one of the most crucial components of application delivery. Here we discuss the importance of a data-driven approach to network observability. We unpack how Kentik’s approach to machine learning, big data, and a unified data repository can help network operations solve problems faster to ensure a reliable network with great application performance.

Is your cloud provider executing network maintenance? Yes, yes they are.

What happens to your apps when your cloud provider performs network maintenance? Kentik helps you monitor your app’s network paths and performance on premises, in the cloud, and in between. Kentik can show you the paths your app uses during normal operations and detect any changes that could cause decreased application performance. Public cloud maintenance is necessary, and with Kentik’s network observability platform, you can see exactly when your cloud provider is doing it and how it’s affecting your application traffic.

Using Synthetic Testing for Better Network Observability with Kentik

Mike Krygeris discusses using synthetic testing to maximize network performance and minimize downtime in today’s complex cloud, hybrid, and private on-prem networks. Learn how synthetic testing can help increase observability in all types of networks and web applications.

See How Kubernetes Traffic Routes Through Data Center, Cloud, and Internet with Kentik Kube

Using Kentik Kube, cloud and infrastructure engineers can access detailed network traffic and performance visibility for internal and external traffic for their Kubernetes clusters to quickly detect and solve network problems.

Solving Faster in the Cloud Hybrid Infrastructure Observability with Kentik

How can you quickly discover misconfigured security groups, access control lists, or routing tables? We explore how practitioners serving distributed teams or customer workloads can tighten up policies, impact costs, and unblock their colleagues with cloud infrastructure observability that starts with the network.

Your Comprehensive Guide to HAProxy Protocol Support

Internet protocols are the lifeblood of internet communication, powering important connections between servers, clients, and networking devices. These rules and standards also determine how data traverses the web. Without these protocols, internet traffic as we know it would be severely fragmented or even grind to a screeching halt. And without evolving protocol development, the web couldn’t properly support the applications driving massive traffic volumes worldwide (or vice versa).

Brocade switch configuration management with Network Configuration Manager

Brocade network switches encompass a variety of switch models that cater to diverse networking needs. In today’s intricate networking landscape, manually handling these switches with varying configurations and commands within a large network infrastructure can be a daunting task. This complexity often leads to human errors such as misconfigurations. How can you optimize your network environment effectively when utilizing a variety of Brocade switches and eliminate the need for manual management?
